Health Definition

Physical Fitness, ability of the human body to function with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to engage in leisure activities, and to meet physical stresses.

Prepared By: Farah Naz Student UE Jauharbad 4/8/2023 1


Muscular strength and endurance, cardio respiratory integrity, and general alertness are the overt signs of physical fitness.

Physical fitness is usually measured in relation to functional expectations—that is, typically, by periodic tests measuring strength, endurance, agility, coordination, and flexibility. In addition, stress testing, which ascertains the body's accommodation to powerful, sustained physical stimuli, is used to analyze fitness. If individuals are able to accommodate to the stressors, they are assumed to be fit.

The level of physical fitness can be influenced by regular, systematic exercise. Moderate activity will maintain the individual at a level that is usually adequate to handle ordinary stress. If the fitness level is to be improved, however, it is necessary to participate in more intensive exercise that overloads the physiological systems and thus promotes change.

Women's Health in Pakistan:

Women’s health in Pakistan is closely tied to motherhood. Pakistan has one of the highest birth rate in the world.Fertility is very high in Pakistan. The 1992 Pakistan Demographic Survey reported a total fertility rate of 5.8. Fertility regulation has contributed to



women’s health by reducing the number of pregnancies and limiting risk-surrounding childbearing.Women’s health is determined by complex biological, social, and cultural factors.Therefore, to reach women affectively, policies and program must take in to account the biological factors that increase health risks for women and such socio-cultural determinant of health as age at marriage and status in the family, as well as psychological factors, such as low self esteem and depression arising from discrimination and gender violence. Women’s lack of education and disadvantaged social position help perpetuate poor health and high fertility, as well as the unending cycle of poverty. References:
